Second pic represents the designers at Indigofera laughing at my suffering due to being a dumb American who can't read.

I bought the Copeland from Pancho and Lefty, great store, great prices, fast shipping too. And they are continuing the mildy disconcerting trend of businesses halfway around the globe managing to get packages to me faster and cheaper than stores a couple states away in the USA. Thank you American shipping infrastructure, very cool.

The trouble is I didn't read the part of the description where the shirt is really an overshirt. I was blinded by the beautiful color, and the dimension on the shirt actually working for someone who's tall, slim, and has long ape arms. For anyone curious, I have the wingspan of a majestic condor.

The shirt is STIFF. Normally when I want something that's blue and causes stiffness, I have to see my doctor. The denim is "only" 13oz, my dumbass figured that I wear raw jeans that are 20oz with no problem, clearly this will be light work. 

I was unprepared, and felt like I was the Tin Man from the wizard of oz, minus the oil. Mercifully it's loosened up significantly already, and I know it will fade beautifully.

I want to be clear: Any griping is due to my own negligence. The shirt itself is amazing. Construction is flawless, and the color is genuinely beautiful, my camera doesn't do it justice. Once it loosens up and lays flatter around my midsection it will be one of the best fitting shirts I own, from any maker. My only complaint is the branding on each snap, they all have Indigofera on them and I'd prefer plain snaps. That is incredibly minor though, this shirt is an easy 9/10 for me. And I'm already looking at getting another one in their beautiful Gunpowder wash.

The denim is sanforized and shouldn't shrink, but I'm not taking any chances, I'm either going to dry clean or hand wash for absolute emergencies. The sleeves could shrink an inch and still be fine, but I'm not taking the risk.

Bonus sixth pic: Finally found a vintage jungle jacket in my size on eBay, going to be a godsend for layering in the summer.
